On the dist. I would turn the engine by hand to the number 1 position by the mark on the balancer and then point the rotor to the number one place on the cap. If it runs but studders, it probally will be way off time, if it doesn't fire at all, turn it 180*, you could be on the opposite stroke.
Those yellow tips break off easily. They are called pintle caps and I would go to napa and order them, they are usually in stock. When I bought my used 24#'s quite a few caps were broken, Pepboys didn't have them in stock, Autozone argued thier existance, but NAPA had them. The kit comes with the cap and the washer, along with all the o-rings, but only for one injector per kit. As far as the injector not being in all the way, definatly do it over because I don't think you would be able to bolt down the rail with them not all the way in unless one was just that crooked.
I hope I helped, good luck. What manifold BTW?

yeah, make sure you get the right tdc, I busted the pintles off of most my injectors, the parts stores never new what a pintle was, untill i worked at a parts store I thought I had to buy a whole new set of injectors.
btw, holley heads and comp xe274 cam had a dyno test of intake manifolds.
the edelbrock performer II manifold made 91 horsepower over stock!!! 61 peak gain! man! makes me glad I bought one!! so on the manifold side, that's a good one for a motor with h/c/i...

Use balancer to set the engine so it's approaching tdc on the compression stroke (either look at #1 rockers (valve cover off) to be sure both are closed, or pull a plug and notice air being ejected from the cylinder on the upstroke). Rotate the balancer until the pointer is at the timing you want the car at (12-14 dbtdc), then stab the distributor so that 1) the rotor is pointing as close to the number 1 spark plug wire as possible, and 2) so the module is halfway between limits - t'stat housing and a/c bracket. It should fire - once it does, get a timing light on it.
Follow everyone else's counsel on the injectors. BE CERTAIN they're sealed properly - 40 psi makes a hell of a mess with fuel all over the engine in a very short period of time.

here's a similar post on what people did, I put a pic in there and am too lazy to make it again. but you should put in the metal plate and bend the forward facing end upwards, that's the way the plates come in the new RPMII's.
